Photos From Light of Day WinterFest 2022


By John Posada

originally published: 03/18/2022

Light of Day WinterFest 2022 took place in March after being postponed in January due to Covid. The shows use music to raise money and awareness in its continuing battle to defeat Parkinson’s disease and its related illnesses ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) within our lifetime. There are few opportunities to see as many musicians play in the area as with the annual LOD shows and photographer John Posada wanted to convey that with these photos. 

"They are various images for the whole event at different venues," explained Posada. "I did something different... I did one image per band. They should give the message that there was alot of music going on."
